We understand that the master of one of the Lon don smacks arrived at Leith on Saturday last, on passing Eye_ mouth, was told by some fishermen that a quantity of wreck had been driven ashore on that coast, among which were some long green painted seats, such as are used on the quarter-decks of steam-vessels. The Perthshire Advertiser of Thursday states that " a gentleman who was in conversation with some of the crew of the Euphentia, belonging to Perth, which ar rived there on Wednesday, informed us that they passed the Northern Yacht, on her way to Leith, twice on the night of the storm. The last time they saw her the sea was running terribly high, and must have run over her decks, so that the probability is she was in this way filled with water, and ren dered incapable of weathering the storm. The crew of the Euphemia state that on Thursday night they saw pieces of wreck floating about, and no fewer than four vessels go down, but were unable to render them any assistance from the danger they themselves were in. The crew of the Circassia, of Newburgh, report that they saw a vessel sink close to the Bell Rock. Another Perth vessel, just arrived,brings the intelligence that, during the storm, there were 1,500 sail in Yarmouth Roads, and that the Yarmouth steamers w ere a ct i vely engaged in towing in dismasted vessels."--Scotsman of Saturd a y. It is a singular circumstance that the dog bel o nging to the captain would not go on board at the time when the vessel sailed; and, although beat and put on board, it jumped on shore, and is now in one of the other vessels plying to Leith. There is, we fear, too much reason to believe that the unfor tunate vessel, with all on board, went down in Berwick Bay, on the evening of the day she sailed from Newcastle. Cap tain Pattinson, of Spittal, was then looking out, as was his cus tom, with a glass, and observed at a considerable distance a steamer, apparently in distress ; his attention having been drawn to some other object, on returning to the same point the vessel had disappeared. This was probably the awful moment when the Northern Yacht sunk, and every living being eut contained perished. It is stated that when the unfortunate vessel left the Tyne, she was not in sea-worthy condition, and that on her preceding voyage sbe had had several feet of water in her hold. If this be the case, a very awful responsibiliti a taches to the proprietors, who are at least called upon to offer to the public some explanation in respect to so serious a matter.—Newcastle Journal. CAPTURE OF JOSEPH REITTERHOFFER, alias COUNT RUTTER.—This person (whose apprehension was noticed in The Sun of yesterday) against whom a true bill was found last June for a conspiracy to extort money from the Marquis of Downshire and family, and who had hitherto managed to evade the officers who had received instructions to apprehend him, was on Saturday taken into custody by Goddard, the Bow-street officer, in a house, where he had been concealed for some t ime, at Arabella-row, Pimlico. It appeared that Mr. H um p hre y s, of New ,g the soli citor for the Marquis of Downshire in the late prosecution against the other parties included in the indictment for con spiracy, received information on Saturday by which he e nabled to trace out the hidin g - p lace of Reitterhoifer, and, having succeeded in that object, he secured the assistance of Goddard, who on Saturday evening proceeded to the house above-mentioned, and on the street-door being opened, he di rectly went up stairs to a room on the second floor, where he found the object of his search, and imn3ediately took him into custody and conveyed him in a coach to Bow-street, where he was provided with a room in a public-house near the police-office. The defendant was very anxious that Goddard should leave him h is razor and penknife; but, from some information which the officer had received, he declined to do so, and it appeared that he was justified in that refusal ; for yesterday morning, when Goddard went to the defendant to apprise him of his intention to convey him forthwith before a Judge, he found the wretched man almost insensible, an d d apg parently labouring under the effect of some stupify g n a h u ge Upon Upon searching him, Goddard took fr om his persorge opium pill, and it was evident that he had partaken largely of the same d e l e t e rious ingredient. The officer was compelled to procure assistance to place him in a coach, in which he was conveyed to the chambers of Mr Baron Gurney, where he appeared barely conscious of what was passing. Upon a re presentation of the facts of the case to the Learned Judge, supported by the necessary evidence, the defendant was ordered to put in bail t o answer t h e c h ar ge at the next session of the Central the ld in the Crimina c l o C ur o s u e rt o , f in which day. which he is indicte d as princial F conspiracy.

The cause of quarrel has not transpired, aril c v eowatsw Partihes d died (From the Edinburgh Advertiser.) On Thursday last, the 18th instant, a meeting of gen tlemen friendly to this important line of communication, forming the last link of the great chain from London to Edinburgh, and the only one remaining to be executed, was held in the Royal Hotel. On the motion of Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG, the Right Hon. the Lord Provost was called to the chair, and stated shortly the object of the meeting, and the great importance of the proposed under taking, not only to the citizens of Edinburgh, but to the nation at large. Mr. SMITH, W.S., of Smith and Kinnear, in the absence of Mr. C. F. Davidson, W.S., then read to the meeting a very able Report by the celebrated Mr. George Stephenson, who had been appointed by the Newcastle Committee to examine into the merits of the different lines which had been proposed—namely, Ist. The line along the coast by Haddington, Dunbar, Berwick, Aln wick, and Morpeth, to the Town's Moor, Newcastle ; 2d. The line over the Carter Fell, uniting with Edin burgh and Glasgow, by lines meeting at Peebles, and then by a joint line through Galashiels, Melrose, Jedburgh, and across the Carter ; and, lastly, a line by Kelso and Wooler. To the first of these Mr. Stephenson gives the decided preference, as being indeed the only one at all adapted by the levels of the country for the application of locomotive engines ; while the line by the Carter Fell presents enor- Tons difficulties, and works of excavation, embankment, and tunnelling of such magnitude, that he himself, ha says, can scarcely form a right conception of them ; and, after all; leaving such acclivities in the line, as far exceed any that occur between London and Newcastle, and such as the locomotive engine could with great diffi , :ulty surmount, and never in such a vvay,as could be depended on at all seasons of the year. In regard to the works necessary, he enters into some farther particulars, stating that they far exceed anything that has ever been attempted in this country or the world. On examining the Wooler line also, by Rothbury and Wooler to the Tweed, Mr. Stephenson found the country so uneven and presenting so many prominent and con tinuous ridges, that he did not hesitate to consider it quite impracticable to carry a railway through it with locomo tive inclinations; and the works to be executed are such as have never yet been attempted. The coast line, there fore, though somewhat longer, is the only one which he could recommend, being a line most easily executed in every part—presenting nearly an uninterrupted level the whole way, and no acclivity exceeding 18 feet in a mile, and passing through the country in such a way as affords great facilities for branch railways, descending by easy lines along the valleys of the different streams intersected by the line, and by which the various mineral and agricul tural products can be conveyed down with ease to the main line, and by it carried north and south, as may be required. _ _ _ " The line of Railway," says be, " which I am proposing will constitute the last link in the great chain of Railway communication from London to Edinburgh and Glasgow ; in the whole of this chain there will not be between London and Edinburgh one inclination exceeding 20 feet a mile (except at the London and Birmingham station), and the characteristic inclination will be 16 feet a mile. The same description of engine will be enabled to work the whole of the lines included in this chain, so that if it should be necessary, either from necessity or dispatch being requi site, or in case of accident, an engine May be transferred from one line to another capable of performing the work. But as I stated before, it appears to me that both in a na tional and commercial point of view the most important con sideration in endeavouring to procure easy inclinations is, that it ensures a certain, speedy, and punctual performance of the duties required from the engines." On the above Report being read, Mr. CADELL rose and expressed himself very clearly and forcibly in regard to the great importance of the measure now proposed. Different lines of railway were already executed and in progress between London and Newcastle, forming portions of one grand line of commu nication to Edinburgh. These were, Ist, The London and Birmingham line ; 2d, the, Birmingham and Derby ; 31, The North Midland, from Derby to near Wake field ; 4th, The York and North Midland Railway, from near Wakefield to York ; sth, The Great North of England Railway, from York to Newcastle. The whole of these are now in progress, and will certainly be comple ted in the course of three years at the most, forming one entire Hoe of railway communication of 285 miles in length. When this whole line, then, comes to be opened, it will certainly be very odd if Scotland, with the aid of the powerful Companies between London and Newcastle, all so deeply interested in its prolongation, not to mention that of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which will be com pleted at the same time—it would be strange, indeed, if we were unable to add the remaining 117 miles, to complete the connection between the two capitals. In regard to the proper line to be adopted, he thought that, after the distinct and able Report which they had just heard, and which he would propose should be published and exte nsively circulated throughout the kingdom, there could be no hesitation p as to the superiority of the coast line. One feature, which appeared to him of the greatest im p rtanc e in a merc antile view, was the facility, and there fore economy, in the execution of this line. There were no vast works necessary ; and we had before us the example o f the English railways now in operation, to show the im portance of this circumstance in the view of profit able specula tion. If the present line from London to Edinburgh were c ompared with that which ha s b een pro posed' on the west of the island by Lancaster, Carlisle, and Glasgo w, it would be found to be much superior. A level line was now executing from Glasgow to Kilmarnock and Ayr ; and it was prop osed to extend this to Carlisle and Lancaster ; but the Cumberland mountains presented a grea t obstacle , so that the best line would be r ound the coa st. Still there were difficulties here, as it was neces sary to cross' the Lancashire sands at Morecombe Bay, by a sea embankment, eight or ten miles in length, and the expense of which would alone amount to 750,0001. ; and after all, we would have to go round by Glasgow, in place of going direct to London. One mistake, he thought, was often fallen into in regard to these undertakings, namely, that they were all borrowing money, which did not look well. But the borrowing of money in these cases was really done from motives of economy and profit. Th e money being borrowed at a comparatively low rate of inte rest was so much gain to the proprietors on their actual stock. On the whole, be would move that the meeting approve of the Report, and appoint a Committee to proceed with the necessary surveys, and a subscription be entered into, to aid, along with that of the other Committees in Newcastle and Berwick, to defray the exp ense . Mr. MILNE, Advocate, expressed himself much satis fied with the Report by Mr: Stephenson, and though lie had heard that Report for the first time, he thought that gentleman had proceeded in the business entrusted to him with great fairness and impartiality, and the Committee in Newcastle by selecting Mr. Stephenson, the most celebrated Railway Engineer of his day, had by that act alone given a stamp to their proceedings which would give every confidence to the public. There was just one point on which he would make a remark, namely, as to the line which had been proposed by Kelso and Wooler—a line greatly more feasible in every re spect than the Carter line. Mr. Stephenson had only re ported generally in regard to this, and he thought it would have been satisfactory to have had some specification of facts, to bear out his condemnation of that line. There had been surveys made of the line, and he held in his hand a newspaper containing a report by Mr. Blackett, the engi neer who had made them, describing not only the places through which this line was proposed to run, but also the various works which would be necessary in the execution of it. Mr. Blackett, in this account (which Mr. Milne read), st a t es t h at i t i s practicable to obtain inclinations not exceeding 24 feet per mile. To attain even this inferior inclination, works of very considerable magnitude would be necessary one of which was a tunnel of two miles through Rimside Moor, where he knew there was the thickest and hardest whinstone in all Northumberland. It appeared also that viaducts were necessary across the valleys of the Aln, the Coequet, and other rivers, all of them greatly exceed ing is height and length any similar works necessary near th e c oast ; so that it was clear, from the account of Mr. Blackett himself, that the expense of the Wooler line would very greatly exceed the expense of the coast line. It was equally obvious that, though the Wooler line would Pass through a more populous country than any line through the Cheviots, it, in that respect, fell far short of the coast line. The latter would pass also through a country richer in mineral products than the Wooler or Carter lines would do ; for about sixty-five miles of its course from Newcastle northwards, it would pass through a country aboundi ng with lime and coal ; whilst the Wooler line would pass through such a district for not more than thirty miles of its course. These facts he had thought it his duty to mention to the meeting, in order to show that Mr. Stephenson was well warranted in condemning the Wooler line, and in preferring the one by the coast. It was desirable that this meeting, if it was to form and ex press an opinion, deserving of public confidence, should have full information as to the merits or demerits of all the proposed or possible lines ; and he trusted that this meeting would have the effect of setting at rest all farther speculation on the subject. After some farther remarks, Mr. Milne concluded by seconding the resolutions moved by Mr. Cadell. Mr. LEARMONTH stated that he really thought Mr. Stephenson's Report on the Wooler line was sufficiently decided. He says he examined the route by Stamforth and Rothbury, and thence to near Wooler, and on to the South, and " the ridges which present themselves prevent the necessity of obtaining favourable inclinations, and the works to be executed are such as have never yet been at tempted." This was sufficient to satisfy him, and he trusted would satisfy the meeting. Mr. GRAINGER, Civil Engineer, stated that in Mr. Ste phenson's Report, and in the subsequent discussions in re gard to the Wooler line, reference had only been made to that part south of the Tweed, where the difficulties were no doubt great. But these were nothing compared with what occurred near Edinburgh in crossing the Middleton Ridge. This ridge was 900 feet above the level of the sea, and being only twelve miles from Edinburgh, with deep ravines interposed, there was a very short distance to rise on, while the ridge at Rimside Moor, alluded to by Mr. Milne, is only 700 feet high, and much greater length to ascend up to it. Mr. BUCHANAN, Civil Engineer, corroborated the state ment made by Mr. Grainger, Mr. Stephenson had spoken decidedly enough as to the difficulties near Newcastle ; but the great difficulty lay near Edinburgh in crossing the Lammermuir hills, which would be found •to pre sent an insurmountable obstacle by whatever pass they were attempted. At the Soutra ridge, on the Kelso and Wooler-road, these hills rise 1,180 feet above the level of the sea, and this only at eighteen miles out of Edin burgh ; so that if to avoid going round by the Middleton ridge, the more direct line by Soutra Hill were thought of, the difficulty was equally great. Mr. Stephenson, however, it will be observed by his Report, does describe the country here as impracticable, for he crossed this same ridge in his survey of Gala Water ; and he says " From the eighth to the fifteenth milestone, the ground rises at the rate of eighty five feet per mile ; and again in ascending up by Gala Water to this ridge, he states the ascent for twelve miles at the rate of twenty-eight feet per mile. On the whole, therefore, Mr. B. really thought it would be unnecessary, as had been suggested, to proceed with any farther surveys in this direction. The resolutions were then passed, and a subscription set on foot for the expense of the survey, &c. Doctor Johnson once said of the late Lord Thur low, that he was like a pine-apple, rough without, but soft within. LORD ROLLE'S HOUNDS.—LAST LEAP.—A correspondent of a Contemporary writes :--" On Saturday last I went out to join Lord Rolle's harriers, which I fell in with near Budleigh, just as they had come to a check. In a few minutes the hare rakes up in view, and goes oT the open towards Exmouth, scent on the bill bad, bat getting into the enclosed grounds, the pack rattled away delightfully, and as pretty a run as ever I saw ; I followed for about half an hour ; when the hare being pressed near Exmouth, made direct for the sea, and unable to turn from the near approach of the hounds, it made a clear leap over Ware Cliff, being more than a hundred feet perpendicular. The gre atest anxiety was manifested a few moments for the dogs, fearing they might not be able to check their impetuosity ; but fortunately none got over, or they must have been dashed to pieces. The hare lay quite dead on the sands. His Lordship's hounds, to be seen to advantage, should be in the enclosures ; a prettier pack for real sport (not being too fast, the general fault with most barriers now), I have not seen in Devonshire, and their condi tion is excellent—l never saw better. On the open they certainly are scarcely quick enough, the country they hunt being frequently bad for scent, so that unless the hounds can race their game, it is impossible for a slow pack to hold on however good they may be for cold scent. :His Lordship still goes out, although from his late accident he is obliged to remain in his carriage; yet, when the bounds chance to cross near him when in pursuit, a clear hearty cheer is sure to greet the merry pack, evincing lungs as sound arid strong as ever. It is really a treat to see such a fine old noble sportsman buf fetting the storm at 87 years of age ; how the Mackintosh young gentlemen look encased in their sacks at every slight shower that falls. Where will they be at 87 ?"—Dorse County Chronicle. Swift having paid a visit to Sir Arthur Acheson's country seat, and being, on the morning of his return to the deanery, detained a few minutes longer than he expected at hie breakfast, found, when he came to the door, his own man on horseback, and a servant of Sir Arthur's holding the horse he was to ride himself. He mounted, turned the head of his horse towards his own man, and asked him, in a low voice, if he did not think he should give something to the servant who held his horse, and if be thought five shillings would be too much. " No, Sir, it will not, if you mean to do the thing handsomely," was the reply. The Dean made no remark upon this, but when he paid his man's weekly ac count, wrote under it, " Deducted from this, for money paid to Sir - Arthur's servant for doing your business, 55." SAGACITY OF A DOG.—A short time ago some of our harbour and bay fishermen were trawling for blockin, &c., near the point of the pier, and succeeded in filling a few baskets of fish, which they left upon the beach in charge of a well-known dog, named " Bully," who is in the habit of perambulating our quays, and belongs to anybody who will throw him a bone. The fishermen having again embarked for the purpose of having a second draw, the tide began to flow, and was making rapid way towards the baskets. Bully" now became very busy, and with all diligence en deavoured to draw one of the baskets higher up on the beach ; but finding this too difficult a task he began to take the fish, one by one in his mouth, and scampenad off to a place of safety with his charge. Upon the fishermen returning shortly after, he seemed quite overjoyed, and upon, being asked what had become of the fish out of one of the baskets, which was nearly emptied, he trotted along to the place where he had deposited them. —lsle of Man Paper. As the workmen employed on the Shoreham branch of the Brighton Railway were removing the earth in the parish of Aldrington, on Tuesday, they discovered a human skeleton, and yesterday two more were brought to light. The first was lying on the chalk, about four feet beneath the surface ; the other two, which were nearly together, and at a distance of thirty feet from the first, were imbedded in the chalk seven feet deep ; and all three were inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees to the horizon, with the heads downward, and pointing in different directions. The skulls, which are nearly half an inch thick, were at first perfect, but were broken by the men in extricating them from the soil. Most of the other bones are broken and much decayed; but a few of them, as well as the teeth, remain entire. 'The two skeletons found together were enveloped in a black substance, about half an inch thick, resembling burnt straw, and by their side was found a crock, of about seven inches in diameter, and nine inches deep, of unburnt clay, containing a great number of small bones. The spot on which the discovery was made is about 50 yards in the rear of Aldrington Barn, on the farm of Mr. Fuller, and nearly 300 yards from the ruins of Aldrington Church.—Brighten Gazette. On Thursday evening an inquisition was taken before Mr. Payne, in the board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of the body of Richard Looker, aged 57, an excavator. From the evidence adduced to the jury it ap peared that deceased had been employed in com p an y w i t h another man, named Michael Kelly, in excavating ground for the formation of a new sewer in Goswell-street. On Saturday last, about twelve o'clock, the deceased and Kelly had t o c l ear away a certain quantity of earth to be in readiness for the bricklayers, who would return from dinner at one. For this purpose they had to descend about seventeen feet below the surface of the earth, and work upon a stage. They had not been there many minutes when the earth above gave way, and fell in upon them, and felled deceased to the ground. Kelly escaped with but slight injury, and, having assisted de- ceased up, he asked him if he was hurt? He was unable speak, but walked up the ladder and went home. He returned again to work at half-past two o'clock, when he was advised to go to the hospital. He did so, when it was ascertained he had sustained a severe fracture of the ribs, besides having his col lar-bone broken. He became very ill, and died on Monday night from the injuries received. Verdict—Accidental Death. PUBLIC CENIETERIES.—In consequence of attention having been lately directed to the impolicv inter ring the dead in crowded parts of the city and sutuilos, no less than three spots of ground at the east of I *.ondon have been surveyed, and are about to be set apart for the purposes of sepulture.

TILE DEVIL'S-LAWS.—On Thursday evening Mr. A. W. Paulton delivered his first lecture on the Corn laws to one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the Corn Exchange at Manchester, every ticket of admission to the lecture-room having been eagerly sought for and obtained by the public some hours previous to its commencement, and many applicants were necessarily disappointed. About seven o'clock the Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Association took their seats. Mr. Paulton delivered the lecture, the report of which occupies a prominent place in the Manchester Times. HUM AN BONES. —The bones of two or three human skeletons a few days ago were discovered by work men who were making a drain two feet deep across a field from the Balby road to the new poor-house. The spot in which they were found was probably the burial ground of the chapel annexed to the hospital of St. James. De la Pryme speaks of " the ruins of a long and once stately chapel dedi cated to St. James, all now in rubbish on the side of the road from Sepulchre Gate to Balby." It was suppressed in Ist of Edward VI. ; De le Pryme died in 1704.—Doncaster Gazette. On Tuesday morning last, a gentleman of this town was hit by the charge of a gun, which was lying at the bot tom of a light cart, and accidently went off in passing through this town. Fortunately the force of the shot was broken by passing through the back of the cart, and he sustained no injury. —Derbg Reporter. • - LARGE TURNIP !—The country papers, accord ing to custom, continue to record and authenticate miracles in the agricultural world. We hare carrots as big as colts, po tatoes scarcely less than full-sized ponies, and turnips of all weights under a ton. The Preston Observer states that there has been exhibited a tiny turnip measuring only one yard iu circumference, and 201bs. weight. An extensive formation of Cornish day has been lately discovered in the department of the Drome. This earth, a kind of kaolin, or decomposed felspar, was believed to exist only in Cornwall; and, from its being one of the prin cipal ingredients in the fabrication of English porcelaine, has long been a desideratum in France. A comp:lly has been raised for the working of this formation, which promises to be very productive. —Paris Paper. DISPATCH BY STEAM.—The account of the coronation of George 111. was brought to this country (New York) from Bristol, in SO days.
